As a "musical omnivore" I find that festivals are the place to be if i want to discover some cool new music. Granted, the bigger names will get me there but it is all the smaller, unknown, indie bands that I hold close to my heart.
If you're up for finding some new music while enjoying music from acts that you love you might want to look into catching a festival. Tours like Warped, Ozzfest, Projekt Revolution (their show in Germany had 30,000+ attendees!), the Hard Summer Fest, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and All Points West. Now, these are not the only festivals around, just some of the more well known ones that you could attend.
To experience A LOT of indie bands at a festival check out the MidPoint Music Festival, the Pitchfork Music Festival (today and Tomorrow actually) or maybe the Pygmalion Music Festival.
The possibilities are endless, seriously. Tomorrow and Sunday the Mile High Music Festival will be taking place in Commerce City, CO with relatively unknown bands (Flobots, State Radio, etc.) performing in the morning and more well known bands (Dave Matthews band, Jason Mraz, etc.) performing in the afternoon/evenings.
I wish I could make it to all of these festivals but sadly, I can't. There is sure to be some amazing unknown talent at all of these shows so if you can, get out there and discover new music!
